Just an update... I tried on a pair of shorts on the other night that have always been tight and to my surprise, they are about 1-2 sizes to big in the waist now. This is the leanest I have been since my early 20's. Back in the day I was as low as 8% body fat at 230lbs. So I can't complain with where I am now being 35. I have been slack last week due to painting my house and camping but am getting back on the X this week and still rockin the bike regiment of 3 days a week, 12 miles a pop. Dang heat is ridiculous though. Ready for fall already!
